I will never think I’ve got it bad until…

I find one of these in my mail box/inbox:

Best Rejection Ever

If you are interested how I came across the letter,well I was browsing here:

Write For Your Life

I like to wander! Just a little evening blog fling won’t hurt anyone…but that letter might. Right. Yeah. Um. I’m going now. Ciao!

  3. Lorena: I believe this was a response to Gertrude Stein's poem Sacred Emily….as far as I know it was published. Otherwise how else would we know of it. Carla: Glad you found something positive in it. 🙂
